Today’s Agenda Outline and Notes
Notetaker?
Review Action Items from last meeting (above)
Updated Samvera Volunteer Structure
Role of helpers seems clear and not significantly different than previously defined
Helper role are aware of how to take a report and hand off to incident response team
Incident response: can include subset of helpers but not necessarily; separate body of volunteer members (thinking 5-10 people)
We should be able to handle two incidents at a time
Names and term dates are recorded on the Samvera wiki
Member of the response team becomes the point person—the incident responder
Incident team size can vary depending on cirumstances
Member names for incident team need not be private nor publicized
Annalee will have next draft of Code of Conduct Response Outline to use us by June 14
Next steps for CoC
Review and sign off on the draft
When will we be ready to send to the community?
Anti-harassment policy could use a once-over (Anti-Harassment Policy )
CoC will be separate from Anti-harassment policy
Some things in current doc are duplicating language from other documents
Remove duplicated content and create link to separate documents
Response team should have a private space to convene
Accessibility for Inclusivity - DEFERRED THIS TOPIC
Does Samvera need an accessibility policy?
Fake social media accounts being created with hostile content; something to watch out for
Important for people to feel safe in our community
Guidelines for Slack onboarding process - these could be publicized
Don’t want to scare people off in our messaging for an open mic-style meeting
What do we want to pursue for this?
Action Items
- Remove duplicate language in the document (sanctions etc.)
- Heather Greer Klein will create a response team space
- Assemble the response team – need this place by ~early September
- Go to the board and request standing budget for incident response training
- Do we need a charter and/or outline of expectations? (especially in light of funding and resourcing requests)
- Communicate out about resources and support for members of community who are experiencing online abuse from non-Samvera people
- Reschedule discussion on accessibility policy
